Each mod release includes the latest version of the manual at that time; thus, the latest version for 1.7.10 should have the same version of the manual as the latest version of 1.8 as they were released at roughly the same time.
There will be at least one more 1.7.10 release that will include the rupees and wallets.
I probably won't be doing any coding over the summer, though, since we had more than 6 months of no sunshine this winter and I'd like to take advantage of it while I can, ya know? Plus the baby and puppy need to get outside and experience the world.

not NEI or any CCC issues, it is YABBA that is crashing.

quick google shows that is better foliage. it still may be an issue of an assigned biome ID isn't right. though it could also be a bad mod interaction between TF and some other biome adding mod.
there is also the interesting behavior of biomes in that the first 128 ID's are used as "main" biomes and the second set of 128 is a "sub" version of the biome that is 128 id's before it. so you can't just assign IDs willy nily.

you have the infamous, some settings are in world override mode bug. You'll have to fix that. in your options menu, bottom left, go into the GUI settings then hit the world override button in the top right, then right click any active "w" buttons next to the options. that will set them all to global.

there is an NEI menu filter built into NEI.

haven't tried the /space command, but the nether portal messes it up as well. I've let the mod author know.

gets easier, but it also gets easier if you slow down.
